High school guidance counselors, at-risk youth agencies, group homes and church outreaches make the program available to their constituents.
More than 1,500 girls benefited in 2015 from 65 different schools and nonprofit youth organizations across Long Island. For more information on Prom Boutique, contact prom@longislandvolunteercenter.org or the Long Island Volunteer Center at 516- 564-5482 or www.longislandvolunteercenter.org.
